I was thinking too myabe he is coming down with something I find going off food often a first sign.
Where you live? Cause some states suddenly got warm so that may've put him off food, I get funny tummy when it gets hot.
Umm.. what does he say when you ask him about it? Does he say anything?
Maybe try let him help you cook something then he may want to eat it cause you made it together.
Would he like cordial? You could buy ice tray with the shapes so he can have "special ice" in his drink or just to eat.

Spot on! Gastro has struck all but one of us down today. Dh is fairing well and bailey is just off his food still, tired still and....we won't go inot the rest of the details that we have..lol...bit icky!

Now i know why Bailey has not been eating. between tummy cramps and feeling like chucking....who would want to eat?! Feel slack now as I have been on his back for days...buuuuut...he could have said i feel sick Mum! Duh!!!

He ate popcarn (of all things) before dinner last night...his choice...ate some sausage and that was it. Breaky - bowl of cereal and lunch cheese on crackers! *sigh of relief* just knowing why now.

Feeling abit silly now.

Will wait and see if he comments about the food again and then I might have a one on one with him...he desrves 100% attention if he has these 'ideas" in his head.

Jodi - I let him in the pantry and he decided popcorn before dinner......atleast it wasn't a packet of chips i spose!

Thank girls for your help.....def no where to come for advice.

Take care of each other...I should pop in more often....facebook seems to be quicker for me these days although I am in the pre-ttc chatter thread!! *wink wink nudge nudge* lol

Hello to everyone - I too am around, but not on BB quite as much as I used to be. Just getting a bit over it actually.

Jodi - I am thrilled about your baby news. It is so awesome.

Vix - I hope you all get better.

Mrs T - Hi!

Nelle - Glad you have settled in to your new house. Bummer you are back at the start for Speech therapy. We are finding it is making a huge difference for James.

Boo boo - I am glad the kiddes travelled well for you.

Rach - Glad all is going well.

Hello to everyone else! I too feel I hear what you are all up to via facebook.

Ok - for us - J failed his second hearing test. Again he still has fluid on his ears. We have a pead appt at the end of the month, so we wull see where we go from there.

J is just loving his little sister. He now refers to her as sweetheart. (aww how cute - I will have to remind him of that when he is older!!) he also referrs to her as wolvarine. I am hulk, DH is birdman, and he is still batman. He found half of the characters on You Tube, when he was listening to all the old super hero theme songs. I am amazed at how well he can navigate the site.

OK I am off to bed

Hi Girls,
Decided to pop in here to catch up on all your news after seeing Jodi's signature in another thread... realised that I missed out on so much news by not popping in! I think though that just reading Caddie's last post hit the nail on the head for me... I'm jealous It's very hard knowing that you won't have another one. And there's no need to start with the 'you'll meet someone else'... chances are very remote I'll have another one, I'm 40 next year. But on a positive, I have met someone else, and he is amazing... makes me feel like the most special person on earth, so what more could I ask for So life is great for me and Ains. We had some amazing family photos taken last week, they're on FB if anyone wants to check them out

Now as for all you girls... changing nicknames on here confused me no end, but think i have figured most out. AnnaT, congrats on trying to make a go of your marriage. Make sure you and Ry are supertight before TTC again... and good luck at uni! Meg... any advice on failed hearing tests, feel free to contact me. Good luck with the follow ups. Kell... so sorry to hear of the passing of your FIL. I know it doesn't make it any easier, but look at the wonderful years that Jesse and Keira had with him that were beyond what they originally thought. Helen, I'm sure T is just being cruisy and doing everything in her own time Vix... glad it was just gastro. It's amazing what little ears take in though isn't it. Rach... congrats on little Luke. Gorgeous Maz... good luck on your bum op! Chrissy... sounds like you are in cougar heaven with all those boys! And Nelle... thanks for your positiveness on here and FB... don't know how you always see the good in every situation, you are a gem Sorry if I forgot you... you are all in my thoughts and I love seeing pics of your kids on FB. I'm catching up with Anna and Xander soon.... oh yes, that's right, i'm also laid up. I had a full knee reconstruction on tuesday hence the fact I have had time to cruise the net again. I am so lucky I have so many amazing friends to help me with Ainsleigh as unfortunately Sam has not been stepping up to the plate in the Dad stakes.

Give all your babies a big cuddle from me.... oh, that's right, they're not babies anymore! Give all your three year old attitude monsters a big cuddle from me, and all the little brothers and sisters too.

Rikkiiiiii! So great to see you! I am so glad that you've found someone who makes you feel wonderful, I will check out your pics, I bet Ains is as gorgeous as ever.
Make sure you say hi to Anna!! And tell her to get her butt in here and update us herself!! I miss her.
Ouch on the knee, but I'm glad that the issue is sorted, all the best as you heal.

Hey Meg, sorry to hear about J's test. We're booked in for one on Jan 21, so will be interesting to see what happens there. On the speech waiting list, which could be 6 months if we're unlucky, though they've put on the notes that we've already been waiting for 4.

I hope speech therapy is sooner rather than later though - Riv is driving me nuts these days, gets really frustrated that I can't understand him. He is learning new words, but progress seems so slow when you live with them.

How are you going with two kids on your own Rach? All you need to do is keep them fed. Anything more is a bonus.

[Rach75]

Nelle getting there, if I wasn't trying to pump and didn't have mojor fluid retention issues I think I would be AOK

[Visitor7]

Rikki - I am so glad to hear you've found some special in your life. Ains is absolutely gorgeous! Rest up & taking it easy with recovery. Thanks so much for your email as well.

nelle & meg - good luck with the upcoming speech therapy appointments. I hope you have success with them. I can remember when I went to speech therapy at 4-6.

[Boo Boo]

Hey guys

Great to see some peeps who havn't been on for a while.

Rikki - very happy you have a lovely new man in your life, that is great news speedy recovery to you for your knee, great to have wonderful friends who can help you out with Ains.

AnnaT - Huge congratulations to you on getting into uni, fantastic!! I started my degree when I was 25 and finished last year - what a feeling!! You will do awesome.

Meg - great that Mr J is loving his little sister, aren't they funny things, Rylee's nose was so out of joint but now she loves her little brother, and it just gets better and better. I hope you get some answers from the paed and they will steer you in the right direction as to what to do next for Mr J, good luck.

Mrs T - I have seen your pics of your new home on FB - how cool - you will be loving it when you are all moved in.

Vix - hope your family are all on the road to recovery after the gastro bug, once again there are some shocker bugs going around, yeuch. Great your little man is starting to eat again.

Caddie - great your parents are back and can entertain the girls a bit. Hugs to you.

me - we are all fine, my kids are happy so that is all that matters to me.

Okay, sorry if I have missed you.

Rikki- Great to hear from you, I don't think I knew that you'd parted from your hubby, good to hear you've found a special someone. Ainsleigh is looking gorgeous. Hope you recover from that knee soon. Tell Anna to pop in here too and give us an update.

Nelle- I was thinking (if you haven't already) you could also use some sign language with words, may help him if he gets frustrated if he knows some simple signs he could use to let you know what he wants. Hopefully they will move you up the list seeing as you've waited so long already.

Meg- hopefully you can get some good answers from the paed, so J's behaviour has settled down?

MrsT- the house pics on FB look great. How exciting!

Ash been annoying lately, deliberately annoying Emily. So all day all I hear is Emily grizzling and me repeating myself, she'll hold her legs when she is trying to crawl, put things on top of her, block her way all these little things, I try give Ash attention but between doing everything else that needs doing its not always possible.

[Boo Boo]

oh Shell, you have described life around here to a T with Ash annoying Emily.....Rylee has just been extremely trying, argh, I go into the kitchen to get dinner ready, then Finny starts crying so stop what I am doing and see Rylee sitting on him....blah blah blah, and then I get cranky and yell and I hate being a cranky mum, I really, really do and then Rylee gets upset and then I feel like crapola, so I guess after that rant what I am trying to say is I am with you, let me know if come up with some good strategies because I am at my wits end....thank goodness DH is back next weekend!

*vent over* sorry to take over.....

[shellbell3]

Good in a way to see its not just me, not good really, its same here I go to get dressed or toilet and Emily is whinging. My thing at the moment is using the santa is watching you thing cause she is right into xmas at the moment. I have too started trying the whole ignoring Ash and not telling her off but picking up Emily and giving her cuddles and kisses asking if she is ok putting all the attention on her rather than on Ash's behaviour, I hope it works!

[Freya]

Another sibling-harrassing-baby situation here too! Except poor Stellan has it two fold He crawls so he has a small chance of escape but usually I find Jett getting overzealous in trying to play with him and lying in his way or trying to push him faster; but Ripley is the nasty one, he sits on his back and bounces up and down like he's a horse, or he drags him around by his legs, or tries to dump him headfirst into the ground, poke his eye out, lock him in the cupboard............the list goes on and on. I feel sorry for the poor tacker.

Rikki - good luck with your recovery! Ains is just gorgeous, what a beauty, gonna be beating the boys off with a stick soon

[Beatrix]

LOL about all the sibling stories.. my girls are the same but most of the time its not being mean. its teleah trying to hard to be nice that she is in their face all the time and it drives the other two mad. But we do have the nastiness too.. they can be very spiteful sometimes these girls


So is anyone else putting off putting up there xmas tree or is it just me? Every since i had the christmas bauble eating episode with Annika two years ago i avoid putting it up til about two weeks before christmas and that means the kids only have two weeks to distroy it for.

Meg- good luck with the rest of the hearing tests, hope it goes well

Jodi- sorry hun forgot to say congrats earlier

Rikki- great to see you
